Retay KOTA RGR-1000 Field 12 GA 3rd Walnut Shotgun

The KOTA RGR-1000 Field is a pump action 12 gauge wearing walnut. The magazine holds 3 rounds and the front sight is fiber optic, which puts a bright dot where the bead would normally be and makes a difference in the first and last light of the day.

A pump gun asks the shooter to work the action, and in return it stops caring what you feed it. Light target loads, heavy field loads, anything in between — the shooter provides the energy to cycle the gun, so there is no gas system to tune and nothing to adjust when the load changes. That is why pumps still fill gun cabinets decades after autoloaders got good. The walnut furniture gives this one a traditional field look and a little more weight than a synthetic gun, which helps a swing stay smooth. Three rounds is the standard capacity for a plugged field gun, so nothing has to come out of this one before a migratory bird season. Plain, mechanical, and hard to stop.
